Likely Broyles, McNutt, Adams, Randle, and Sanu will still be there. I'd take my chances with any of them over Amendola who would cost the pick and a larger contract. Plus, the Pats could go out and sign a guy like Smith for a low cost too. Signing Amendola would be a terrible decision.

Broyles and McNutt can be had in round 4, Randle will go late 1 - early 2, Sanu and Adams could be around there and much better than a guy who I cant imagine play a full season

hard working player who is a very good ST'er, played out of position on a bad defense, he is a FS who also has covered the slot before being forced to SS full-time because of Sanders injury. Steady guy who isn't costing to much

Linkage to Pro Football Talk piece (which piggy backed Patriot's Football Weekly conjecture.) I tend to agree that would be a weak trade.

At this point there is pretty much nothing of substance out there. It's more like some reporter throwing some #### against a wall and seeing what sticks. I wouldn't mind if that was the trade if it meant we were positioning ourselves to get Wallace or Webb, however I doubt that would be the case.

In other news Anderson is visiting the Dolphins today. I like Anderson and want him back, but he's a 1 trick pony with his speed rush, and I wouldn't be willing to pay him much more than he made last year. Carter on the other hand is a different story.

I don't think Anderson or Carter fit into what they're going to want to do with that defense this year.

I know Carter didn't have the kind of success rushing the passer in the 3-4 in Washington that he's had in the 4-3 here and other places, but you can't tell me that an all around player like Carter doesn't have value in a defense that plays >50% of the time in a nickel package.

I don't know what we're going to do on defense this year so it's hard to speculate too much. I also think that the way the board falls on draft day will dictate which system we'll end up running. If we can get a 5-tech and an OLB we'll run a 3-4, if not I think we're sticking with the 4-3. If we're sticking with the 4-3 I'd preferably have Andre Carter back due to him being the more complete DE. That of course depends on his health. I'd also like to have Anderson back, but I don't want to overpay him like we did with TBC. Anderson is IMO a slightly better TBC and a rather large proportion of his sacks were either coverage sacks or simply the QB running into his arms. So if someone wants to shell out big bucks for Anderson I'd have no concerns with letting him walk.
